Topping D50 vs the "Big Boys"

Wait till the D50S is released, it’s even better. No balanced though, that’s about the only performance negative (looks could be improved, such as a larger screen).

Just picked up a totaldac - bent metal case, cheap remote and all. It sounds spectacular, and I would gladly put up with even shittier casework and remote. Superb sounding.

I thought the D30 was the one to beat in the topping line. Is the D50 that much better?

Had the D50 up against the Sabaj D5, Schiit Bifrost multibit, ADI-2 DAC.
The D50 sounded fine but there was a lack of depth and width to the soundstage. Also a bit thin, yes I tried all the filters, and powered it with  batteries. Slight improvements but it had to go.
